Biographical History
Isabel Wiel was the second daughter born to Dr. Harry Isaac Wiel and Sarah Sloss Lilienthal Wiel, who married in 1910. Her maternal grandparents were Ernest R. Lilienthal and Hannah Isabelle [Bella] Sloss. Wiel graduated from Miss Burke's School [Katherine Delmar Burke] in San Francisco and attended Mills College in Oakland for two years. Her sister, Barbara, married Frank Dunn on 26 Oct. 1935. After leaving Mills, Wiel worked for Paul Elder & Company (1938-1941), before opening the Personal Bookshop with Gladys E. Seymour (also a former Paul Elder employee). Their partnership dissolved in 1946. Wiel then worked for the San Francisco Museum of Art (1946-1948), the Mills College Shop (1948-1954), White House (1954-1956), Grace Bell Secretarial College (1956-1957) and finally worked for McGraw-Hill, as Regional Benefits coordinator (1957-1973), before retiring. An active volunteer since the age of seven, Wiel volunteered for a variety of arts and cultural organizations, which included: the Oakland Museum, Golden Gate National Recreation Area (as a docent), the Golden Gate Park Carousel, and Angel Island.
